We need to rid ourselves of citizens united, not nominate a candidate whose sole qualification is his purse.
The former Mayor is a terrible candidate. Even in his commercials, the former Mayor is in no way inspirational. Who knows how many NDA's there are. His failure to legally release folks from NDA's is disqualifying. We don't know what lurks behind all of those closed doors. Releasing a few, as the former mayor has done, is a laughable.
He was a republican until two seconds ago, supporting the GOP cut taxes, deregulate insane agenda. He doubled down on racial profiling in New York which does not work. He stubbornly insists, even while allegedly apologizing, that stop and frisk did work. Even though crime fell everywhere without stop and frisk. For facts' sake, crime continues to fall in NYC long after the end of that stupid, bigoted policy.
It is a GOP trait to insist policies work despite overwhelming evidence. The former Mayor exhibits this trait daily.
The former mayor is on tape sounding like a plutocrat, dissing Barack Obama.
Moreover, this country does not wake up and say, no we can't.
In 2007, there were so many making your allegation against then Senator Obama. The naysayers said his healthcare plan was going nowhere.
Now, in 2020, Obamacare exists and is functioning despite every GOP attempt to gut it. The calls that Barack Obama was making unrealistic promises were many.
The GOP lives to make unrealistic promises and then try and bully the country into doing them (see the neverending push to outlaw reproductive freedom, going so far as attacking birth control is the most salient example).
Why should democrats not push our policy ideas? Should we cede the field to GOP mentality? There is evidence something like M4A will work since such systems work better than ours in every first world country.
Selling our nomination will depress our turnout. We are very concerned about corruption already. Putting a bow on top of it, with slick ads featuring a dull candidate won't make it more appealing.
Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
